Abstract:

Tourism has been and will continue to be one of the biggest and most profitable industries in the world. Sport is obviously a very important aspect of society in many different ways: culturally, economically and socially. Like in the past, local authorities continue to regard all sporting events as a way of promoting and positioning their destination. Participation in sport events relates to tourism because it also involves travelling to host destinations. Therefore, the aim of our study is to compare participation in small and large sport-for-all events in relation to tourism in Slovenia. We analysed the factors determining differences in the travel behaviours of sport event participants and certain aspects of participation (travel behaviour, frequency of sport event participation, reasons for participation) at the largest cycling event in Slovenia (the Franja cycling marathon) and two smaller cycling events (the “Three hearts Radenci” recreational cycling marathon and the “Around the region of Prlekija” recreational cycling marathon). The study analysed the active participants of different cycling sport events. The sample of respondents consisted of 382 participants. We found that over the third of the participants take on the role of a sport tourist in their travels. They are also very sport-active in their leisure time. The majority of them are engaged in sport activities more than three times a week. The results indicate differences in travel behaviour and sport-active lifestyles among the participants of different types of small and larger sport events.

Abstract:

Purpose In sport tourism, an undeniable recent participation trend is the gravitation of amateur athletes to participatory sport events, particularly cycling sport tourism events. This trend presents numerous policy, applied, and scholarly opportunities and challenges. Contemporary trends are identified to guide future research addressing cycling sport tourism events. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach This is a collaborative initiative between a major global sport event management organisation and established sport tourism scholars. Industry data are drawn upon to identify contemporary sport event participation trends and thus inform a future research agenda. Findings This paper draws upon industry data and insights to tease out five emerging trends in the participatory sport event sector which scholars should engage with. Research limitations/implications Due to the confidential nature of the company data, there were restrictions in the detail which could be reported. Practical implications Increasing growth in premium quality, physically challenging cycling sport tourism events is analysed. A five-pronged future research agenda is proposed to address contemporary sport event management issues around measuring event impacts; strategic management of events; and leveraging globalisation and emerging markets. Originality/value Based on trends identified in this paper, theoretical concepts are drawn upon to propose a timely, industry-relevant future research agenda into cycling sport tourism events.

Abstract:

The purpose of our research was twofold: to investigate the motivations for participating in a mass cycling event for amateurs and the motivational differences between men and women in cycling. This empirical study involving 385 cyclists was conducted during the fifth edition of the Skoda Bike Challenge held in Poznań in 2018. The event forms part of the UCI Gran Fondo World Series of events organized around the world, which are sanctioned by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI). A diagnostic survey method with a standardized interviewing technique was used to interview cyclists. The interview questionnaire was divided according to the MPAM-R scale (Motives for Physical Activity Measure–Revised). This scale assesses people’s motives for participating in physical activities. The following motivations were examined: appearance, fitness, social, competence/challenge, and enjoyment. Descriptive statistics were used. A chi-square test was used to determine characteristics between responses. Cramer’s φ for statistically significant scores was indicated. The research results show some differences between male and female motives for competitive amateur cycling. Statistically significant differences were found between the following motives: interest/enjoyment, competence/challenge, and fitness. This is important information from the point of view of promoting cycling and for organizers of cycling events in regions wishing to promote sports tourism as a form of sustainable development. An understanding of mass cycling motivations is needed, as such knowledge can be used to encourage cycling, which has a potentially positive effect on future cyclists’ physical and mental health. Learning about cycling motivations also allows us to determine which physical and mental health functions are fulfilled by mass sporting events and how to prepare for them. The motives for participating in mass cycling events for amateurs in Europe constitute an interesting field of research. The first part of the paper presents the literature review related to cycling in the context of motivations, sporting events, tourism, event management, and sustainable development, and the second part presents the results of our empirical study.

Abstract:

BackgroundTo date, little is known for pacing in ultra-endurance athletes competing in a non-stop event and in a multi-stage event, and especially, about pacing in a multi-stage event with different disciplines during the stages. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to examine the effect of age, sex and calendar year on triathlon performance and variation of performance by events (i.e., swimming, cycling 1, cycling 2 and running) in ‘Ultraman Hawaii’ held between 1983 and 2015.MethodsWithin each sex, participants were grouped in quartiles (i.e., Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4) with Q1 being the fastest (i.e., lowest overall time) and Q4 the slowest (i.e., highest overall time). To compare performance among events (i.e., swimming, cycling 1, cycling 2 and running), race time in each event was converted inzscore and this value was used for further analysis.ResultsA between-within subjects ANOVA showed a large sex × event (p= 0.015,η2= 0.014) and a medium performance group × event interaction (p= 0.001,η2= 0.012). No main effect of event on performance was observed (p= 0.174,η2= 0.007). With regard to the sex × event interaction, three female performance groups (i.e., Q2, Q3 and Q4) increased race time from swimming to cycling 1, whereas only one male performance group (Q4) revealed a similar trend. From cycling 1 to cycling 2, the two slower female groups (Q3 and Q4) and the slowest male group (Q4) increased raced time. In women, the fastest group decreased (i.e., improved) race time from swimming to cycling 1 and thereafter, maintained performance, whereas in men, the fastest group decreased race time till cycling 2 and increased it in the running.ConclusionIn summary, women pace differently than men during ‘Ultraman Hawaii’ where the fastest women decreased performance on day 1 and could then maintain on day 2 and 3, whereas the fastest men worsened performance on day 1 and 2 but improved on day 3.

Abstract:

Cyclists usually define their posture according to performance and comfort requirements. However, when modifying their posture, cyclists experience a trade-off between these requirements. In this research, an optimization methodology is developed to select the posture of cyclists giving the best compromise between performance and comfort. Performance was defined as the race time estimated from the power delivery capacity and resistive forces. Comfort was characterized using pressure and vibration indices. The optimization methodology was implemented to select the aerobars’ height for five cyclists riding on 20-km time-trial races with different wind speed and road grade conditions. The results showed that the reduction of the aerobars’ height improved the drag area (−10.7% ± 3.1%) and deteriorated the power delivery capacity (−9.5% ± 5.4%), pressure on the saddle (+16.5% ± 11.5%), and vibrations on the saddle (+6.5% ± 4.0%) for all the tested cyclists. It was observed that the vibrations on the saddle imposed the greatest constraint for the cyclists, limiting the feasible exposure time and, in some cases, modifying the result obtained if the posture was selected considering only performance. It was concluded that optimal posture selection should be performed specifically for each cyclist and race condition due to the dependence of the results on these factors.

Abstract:

In grasslands, climate change has the potential to disrupt a range of ecosystem services, including agricultural production, carbon (C) storage and nutrient cycling. In particular, climate change is likely to increase the frequency and severity of extreme climate events, such as drought and the subsequent rewetting event. Yet the effect of drought events will not be consistent across grassland communities, instead likely varying with grassland properties. One such property may be the level of nutrient availability, which brings about changes in plant productivity, plant community composition, and soil microbial composition and function. In this thesis, the effect of reduced precipitation on C cycling in UK species-rich grasslands is investigated in two field experiments, with varying long-term grassland restoration treatments and short-term nutrient addition, and a glasshouse experiment with reduced soil moisture. It was hypothesised that changes in plant and soil microbial communities, brought about by differences in nutrient availability, would modulate above and belowground C cycling responses to drought. This thesis found that the level of nutrient availability was important for modulating how C is cycled in response to drought in plants, soil microbial communities and whole ecosystem CO2 fluxes. For plants, the effect of drought and nutrient availability differed between functional groups, species and due to intraspecific trait variation. For soil microbial communities, the effect of drought on carbon use efficiency was modulated by short-term nutrient addition. Increased nutrient availability and drought therefore interact to determine how C is cycled and stored in plants and soil microbial communities, revealing the importance of agricultural practices in modulating whole community responses to climate change. Overall, this thesis shows the mechanisms by which drought may alter C cycling and its potential feedbacks to climate are complex, but at least in part, depend on the level of nutrient availability.

Abstract:

Rare earth elements (REEs) and their isotopes (such as Nd isotopes) can be potentially used to trace a wide range of oceanic processes in both modern and ancient oceans, but their successful application as tracers requires a comprehensive understanding of REE cycling in the modern ocean. Previous studies of REEs in seawater were largely constrained by analytical difficulties in generating accurate and precise REE data from seawater, which typically contain REE concentrations at a sub-ppt to ppt level. A new, and relatively simple, analytical method for precise and accurate determination of all dissolved REE concentrations in reasonably small (∼100 ml) seawater samples is presented in this thesis. With the application of the new method, this thesis reports the first full-depth, zonal ocean section of all dissolved REE concentrations, collected during the CoFeMUG cruise along ∼12°S in the South Atlantic. The section approach of this study places the distribution of dissolved REE concentrations in a well-constrained hydrographic context, allowing the first quantitative assessment (by an inverse model) of the relative importance of hydrographic controls resulting from advection/mixing of ocean circulation, together with non-conservative controls resulting from local particle scavenging and remineralization, in controlling the distribution of dissolved REEs in this region. A noteworthy decoupling of Ce and Mn with respect to their cycling in the water column was also observed in this study. The application of Nd isotopes as a tracer to reconstruct changes in ocean circulation in the NW European chalk shelf sea during rapid climatic events, including the mid-Cenomanian Event and oceanic anoxic event 2 (OAE 2), suggests a tight coupling between ocean circulation and transient climatic cooling during the general warm Late Cretaceous. An advected volcanic signal during OAE 2 was registered in the seawater Nd-isotope record from the English Chalk, probably suggesting a period of enhanced ocean ventilation/mixing at this time.

Abstract:

Progression through the cell cycle is directed by cyclin dependent kinases (CDKs), which are essential for normal and cancer cell proliferation. CDKs are activated by association with cyclins specific to each cell cycle phase (G1, S, G2, and M). Thus, CDK associated with G1 phase cyclins promote the expression of proteins necessary for DNA replication, but is unable to activate it. CDK associated with S phase cyclins, in turn, triggers the activation of chromosomal origins of replication, but is unable to promote chromosome condensation and segregation of sister chromatids, which is carried out by CDK associated with mitotic cyclins. Despite the essential role of CDKs in cell cycle progression, how the different cyclins promote specifically the various processes of the cell cycle was still an open question by the time this thesis was initiated. Since the discovery of cyclins by Nobel laureate Tim Hunt [Evans et al. (1983) Cell 33:389] it was assumed that cyclins confer substrate specificity. However, later on, fellow Nobel laureate Paul Nurse proposed an alternative quantitative model, [Stern & Nurse (1996) Trends Genet 12:345], based on the observation that successive waves of cyclins result in increased levels of CDK activity. While low levels of activity (CDK associated with G1 cyclins) are sufficient promote progression through the G1 phase and start the pro-S phase transcription program, would be unable to trigger replication. Moderate levels of activity (CDK associated with S phase cyclins) would be able to activate replication but not mitosic events, which would require the high CDK activity associated with M phase cyclins. If correct, the quantitative model should fulfill two predictions, but only one was demonstrated by the Nurse lab. Eukaryotic unicellular yeast cells are able to survive with a single mitotic cyclin, which is notwithstanding able to orderly drive the cell through the different cell cycle phases [Fisher & Nurse (1996) EMBO J 15:850]. Therefore M-CDK activity is able to promote the previous phases of the cycle in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe However, if a purely quantitative mechanism applies, the complementary prediction should be true as well: an early cyclin to be able to trigger later events if expressed at levels high enough. To test such prediction we generated a budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain carrying a G1 cyclin G1 resistant to degradation, under a strong inducible promoter, and fused to a nuclear localization signal. Our results show that one such cyclin is capable of firing chromosome replication conditions in which the S phase cyclins, G2 and M are suppressed. Therefore, our results support the quantitative model against the requirement of substrate specificity. How eukaryotic cells prevent premature activation of the critical cell cycle processes that lead to genomic instability, seems therefore trust in the regulation of activity levels and limiting the presence of cyclin at specific time and space.

Abstract:

The Tour De France (TDF) is the third largest sporting event in the world and the biggest cycling race in terms of popularity and prestige. The event generates global media exposure and attracts millions of short- and long-term visitors each year, thus, TDF is extremely appealing for communities in search of profits. Using Linear Directional Mean (LDM) and semi-structured interviews (community and organization sides), this paper analyzes how TDF has spatially evolved through time by comparing the 2021 racetrack to other time intervals. Additionally, reasons of the potential shift in terms of spatial distribution are investigated considering current issues due to the COVID-19 pandemic that has severely affected the tourism sector and therefore, the benefits that communities were expecting to perceive by hosting TDF. Findings showed that the 2021 route deviated from previous editions time of the TDF history including 10 new stage cities that never hosted the event before. The respondent from the organization indicated the pandemic only indirectly affected the TDF route and that the location of the Grand Départ as well as the main internal constraints imposed to the organizers are key elements in the spatial distribution of the event. Interviewed communities acknowledged that there was risk while hosting TDF this year due to potential restrictive measures. However, they recognized that benefits brought by the race largely overweight potential negative impacts from the epidemic. Indeed, TDF remains a way to bring economic benefits, social cohesion, happiness, pride and satisfaction to hosting cities at a time when the tourism industry is at a standstill.
Le Tour de France (TDF) est le troisième événement sportif au monde et la plus grande course cycliste en termes de popularité et de prestige. L’événement génère une exposition médiatique mondiale et attire chaque année des millions de visiteurs à court et à long terme. Le TDF est donc extrêmement attrayant pour les communautés à la recherche de profits. À l’aide de la Direction Moyenne Linéaire (MLD) et d’interviews semi-structurées (côté communauté et organisation), ce mémoire analyse l’évolution spatiale du TDF au fil du temps en comparant le parcours de 2021 à d’autres intervalles temporelles de la course. En outre, les raisons du changement potentiel en termes de distribution spatiale sont étudiées en tenant compte des problèmes actuels dus à la pandémie de COVID-19 ayant gravement affecté le secteur du tourisme et, par conséquent, les avantages que les communautés espéraient percevoir en accueillant le TDF. Les résultats ont montré que l’itinéraire de 2021 s’écarte des éditions précédentes de l’histoire du TDF en incluant 10 nouvelles villes étapes qui n’ont jamais accueilli l’événement auparavant. Le répondant de l’organisation a indiqué que la pandémie n’a affecté qu’indirectement le parcours du TDF et que l’emplacement du Grand Départ ainsi que les principales contraintes internes imposées aux organisateurs sont des éléments clés dans la répartition spatiale de l’événement. Les communautés interrogées ont reconnu qu’il y avait un risque à accueillir le TDF cette année en raison des mesures restrictives potentielles. Cependant, elles ont admis que les bénéfices apportés par la course surpassaient largement les impacts négatifs potentiels dus à l’épidémie. En effet, le TDF reste un moyen d’apporter des effets économiques positifs, de la cohésion sociale, du bonheur, de la fierté et de la satisfaction aux villes hôtes à un moment où l’industrie du tourisme est au point mort.

Abstract:

The Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event (T-OAE; ~183 million years ago) represents an interval during the Mesozoic when the emplacement of the Karoo-Ferrar Large Igneous Province (LIP) is thought to have resulted in significant environmental change. Associated with this interval was the widespread deposition of organic-rich sediments, carbon cycle and seawater chemistry changes, global warming, the development of marine anoxia, and major extinction events. The majority of studies of this event that have documented these responses have come from the Boreal and Tethyan regions of Europe, thus casting some doubt to the regional versus global significance of the event. Thus my dissertation has sought to reconstruct biogeochemical and paleoenvironmental changes across the T-OAE from a sedimentary succession that was deposited on the margins of a different ocean basin away from the well-studied European successions. Specifically, I have studied the chemostratigraphy of the Fernie Formation of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB), which was deposited on the eastern margin of the Panthalassa Ocean. The Toarcian carbon isotope excursions (CIEs) in the WCSB confirm that these features are global phenomena. I have suggested a new driver for small-scale CIEs observed during the event: the release of wetland-derived methane during progressive global warming. The osmium isotope record and numerical modeling of the osmium cycle suggests that continental weathering rates increased during the T-OAE by 230 – 540%. Rhenium abundance data also suggests that the increased geographic extent of marine anoxia during the T-OAE caused a global drawdown in the seawater rhenium inventory. Iron speciation data are used to reconstruct redox conditions within the WCSB, which suggest ferruginous conditions developed in the more distal locations at the onset of the T-OAE before returning to euxinic (anoxic and sulfidic) conditions. This is likely related to enhanced pyrite burial on a global scale, which caused the drawdown of the seawater sulfate inventory, thus limiting pyrite formation in the distal locations. The proximal setting remained euxinic across the T-OAE, and in all locations the iron speciation data suggest anoxic conditions persistent well after the interval that has been traditionally called the end of the T-OAE.

Abstract:

Academic texts on cycling research are expanding rapidly. A dominant theme among these is the use of infrastructure measures to assist promotion of cycling as part of a movement towards sustainable mobility. Physical infrastructure is currently posited as the primary key to unlock cycling’s potential as a primary mode of sustainable transport. Individual studies rarely stand together to be read back to back, in order to allow comparison between them. The privilege of academic conferences is that they allow the attendee to compare and contrast different academic agendas and concerns of researchers, and to engage in conversation between them. This volume provides a comparative assessment of existing and historic struggles over cycling infrastructure. The aim of this volume is to bring a selection of those parallel voices together and to initiate that dialogue for a wider audience. It is argued that planning is one element of the operation, but what results is often very different from even the most comprehensive strategic imagination. Underlying this chaos however, is a lurking sense that the broader lessons of infrastructure provision for cycling needs to be connected with the political analyses of infrastructuring that derive from wider studies. The book concludes that infrastructures are in constantly in flux, contentious and contended. Furthermore, it concludes that politics is also embodied; lived out in the spaces of mundane and everyday travel.

Abstract:

AbstractThe cell cycle is an ordered series of events by which cells grow and divide to give rise to two daughter cells. In eukaryotes, cyclin–cyclin-dependent kinase (cyclin–Cdk) complexes act as master regulators of the cell division cycle by phosphorylating numerous substrates. Their activity and expression profiles are regulated in time. The budding yeast S. cerevisiae was one of the pioneering model organisms to study the cell cycle. Its genetic amenability continues to make it a favorite model to decipher the principles of how changes in cyclin-Cdk activity translate into the intricate sequence of substrate phosphorylation events that govern the cell cycle. In this chapter, we introduce robust and straightforward methods to analyze cell cycle progression in S. cerevisiae. These techniques can be utilized to describe cell cycle events and to address the effects of perturbations on accurate and timely cell cycle progression.

Abstract:

Evidence is mounting that power plant cycling is causing significant additional wear and tear on the units. However, the effects of this additional wear and tear on future maintenance costs, production cost, and equivalent forced outage rate (EFOR) are not accurately quantified at the present time. For example, units that were originally designed for base load operation are now being cycled by many utilities. Typically, such units experience long-term decreases in availability and significantly increased maintenance and capital equipment expenditures because several materials degradation phenomena (creep, fatigue, creep-fatigue interaction, etc.) are accelerated by increased cycling. The authors will present results of several hundred studies, which highlight the impacts of plant cycling events on short and long term plant availability. The paper will also show the impact of plant cycling design, annual capital and operating expenses which can have a direct impact on plant availability.

Full text

Abstract:

Several instances of thermal fatigue cracking in small-diameter PWR branch lines off reactor main loop piping led to an industry program to evaluate the loading mechanisms responsible for the cracking. It was found that swirl penetration of hot reactor coolant into the normally stagnant drain lines can result in cyclic thermal stratification in the horizontal run of the drain driving the thermal loading. Models were developed to predict the thermal conditions and cyclic behavior that resulted in the cracking. Thermal transient and stress analysis was conducted to test the model predictions and to assure that cracking could be predicted. Further review was conducted for the related piping events where leakage had occurred. These investigations provided considerable insight into how to evaluate the larger populations of lines in operating plants where there have been no indications of cracking. These investigations have shown that two cases of cracking were due to un-insulated configurations that resulted in high cycling temperature differentials in the region of cracking. In addition, the lines where cracking occurred had rigid vertical supports in the region of stratification, leading to high elbow bending moments as a result of the constraint.

Abstract:

<p>The new Ullevaal Footbidge is situated in Oslo, Norway. It is prominently placed next to Ullevaal Stadium, one of the largest venues for concerts and sports events in the country. The bridge is pivotal in the manifestation of Oslo municipality’s strategic plan to promote cycling as an alternative means of transportation: it is conceived to minimize travel times for cyclists, improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists and thus to promote sustainable transport in central Oslo. It is replacing a 30-year-old “intermediate” structure. The horizontal alignment of the bridge follows a broad arc across Oslo’s Ring 3 urban motorway. Approach ramps blend seamlessly with existing routes at grade to ensure non-stop connections for all users and stairs in strategic locations provide “short-cuts” to bus stops and to the main entry into the Ullevaal Stadium.</p>

Full text

Abstract:

Liquids pipelines undergo pressure cycling as part of normal operations. The source of these fluctuations can be complex, but can include line start-stop during normal pipeline operations, batch pigs by-passing pump stations, product injection or delivery, and unexpected line shut-down events. One of the factors that govern potential growth of flaws by pressure cycle induced fatigue is operational pressure cycles. The severity of these pressure cycles can affect both the need and timing for an integrity assessment. A Pressure Cycling Monitoring (PCM) program was initiated at Enbridge Pipelines Inc. (Enbridge) to monitor the Pressure Cycling Severity (PCS) change with time during line operations. The PCM program has many purposes, but primary focus is to ensure the continued validity of the integrity assessment interval and for early identification of notable changes in operations resulting in fatigue damage. In conducting the PCM program, an estimated fatigue life based on one month or one quarter period of operations is plotted on the PCM graph. The estimated fatigue life is obtained by conducting fatigue analysis using Paris Law equation, a flaw with dimensions proportional to the pipe wall thickness and the outer diameter, and the operating pressure data queried from Enbridge SCADA system. This standardized estimated fatigue life calculation is a measure of the PCS. Trends in PCS overtime can potentially indicate the crack threat susceptibility the integrity assessment interval should be updated. Two examples observed on pipeline segments within Enbridge pipeline system are provided that show the PCS change over time. Conclusions are drawn for the PCM program thereafter.

Full text

Abstract:

Multi-mode combustion (MMC) concepts using homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) gasoline combustion at low loads and spark assisted compression ignition (SACI) gasoline combustion at medium loads have the potential for improved fuel efficiency relative to spark ignition (SI) gasoline combustion. Two MMC concepts are compared in this paper with respect to fuel efficiency and tailpipe NOx emissions. The first concept uses stoichiometric HCCI and SACI to allow standard three-way catalyst (TWC) operation. The second concept also uses HCCI and SACI, but cycles between lean and rich combustion and uses a TWC with increased oxygen storage capacity (OSC) for potentially even greater fuel efficiency improvement. This paper performs a preliminary comparison of the two MMC concepts by analyzing two scenarios: 1) cycling between stoichiometric HCCI at 2 bar BMEP (brake mean effective pressure) and stoichiometric SACI at 3 bar BMEP, and 2) cycling between lean HCCI at 2 bar BMEP and rich SACI at 3 bar BMEP. The effects of excess oxygen ratio during HCCI operation and the frequency of oxygen depletion events on TWC performance and fuel efficiency are investigated. Results show that MMC lean/rich cycling can achieve better fuel efficiency than stoichiometric HCCI/SACI cycling. NOx emissions are moderately higher, but may still be low enough to meet current and future emission regulations.

Abstract:

The dynamic response of contracted airway smooth muscles to a finite length change and longitudinal oscillations is described using a simplified model. The model is intended to interpret the biophysical events but not to accurately describe them. It shows that the value of tissue length changes have pronounced indications of cross-bridge detachment. However, the frequency of oscillations represents the velocity of the length change, which affects the cross-bridge cycling rate reflected in the low frequency range.

Full text

Abstract:

Safety valves in nuclear power plants provide over pressure protection of pressurized systems. Accordingly, these valves are required to open quickly and stably (i.e., open, relieve pressure and close) during postulated transients to protect the integrity of the protected systems. Typically, postulated transients are classified as fast or slow. Fast transients have high system pressurization rates that proceed very quickly thereby requiring the safety valves to pop open. On the other hand, there are transients that proceed very slowly that are less challenging to the system but may initiate leakage across the installed safety valve seat. There is very limited knowledge on the impact of prolonged operation of safety valves during slow pressurization accident events. The integrity and functionality of these valves during such slow pressurization events are often in question. This paper examines analytically the behavior and the integrity of safety valves during slow pressurization transient events at pressures near the valve set pressure. This paper considers extended periods of valve simmering that may progress to valve cycling (popping fully open) during such events. To validate the analytical performance prediction, steam tests were performed with safety valves which confirmed that these valves can operate extensively under slow pressurization transient events while maintaining their capability to perform their intended design function.

Abstract:

In the last five years the electric grid worldwide has seen increasing amounts of installed wind generation capacity. Over the last five years, North America (USA and Canada) has witnessed wind capacity grow at an annual rate of over 30%. At the same time, increasing investments in smart grid technologies have enabled improvements in energy products such as Demand Response (DR). The utility industry, system operators and regulators are investing heavily to understand and determine the impacts of increasing wind penetration on the power system. As explored below, an often neglected, but important point of interest to the authors has been the effect of increased cycling of large fossil, formerly base loaded power plants due to increasing penetration of variable wind or solar power. Various types of DR programs have been implemented by utilities and system operators and these DR programs may be classified based on the time it takes to call upon a DR event or the energy market that the programs are allowed to participate within. Hence, we may have a “slow” DR that participates in a Day-Ahead market and the events are called upon well in advance. On the other hand, “fast” DR programs would participate in Real-Time and Ancillary Services markets. DR from a power dispatch perspective can be considered a “virtual power plant” providing energy, ancillary service and capacity in energy markets. Energy benefits of DR have been explored extensively, especially in terms of reduced fuel costs due to reduction in demand. In this paper we explore the conceptual use and value of DR in providing benefits associated with reduced damage to a fleet of fossil-fueled power plants if it is used to reduce startups and/or load following/cycling.

Abstract:

The article considers the model of the space-frequency-time continuum, according to which the physical essence of Time is manifested as a fraction of electromagnetic energy spent on updating a material object in a cyclic process of copying-incarnation. For all structural levels of physical reality, the value of this fraction is a fundamental constant, which can be represented as the tangent of the loss angle, or expressed in radians, as the angle of inclination of the evolutionary spiral, which characterizes the rate of change of states or the duration of events and processes. The value of this constant can be calculated, and its value turns out to be identically equals to the square of the fine structure Constant (α2). The description of the method for identifying a new constant allows us to present the formula of Scientific Discovery as the Physical Essence of Time.

Abstract:

This study focuses on disaster impacts and recovery in Tamil Nadu, drawing on insights from Chennai city and Nagapattinam district. The research is part of a larger three-year project called “Recovery with Dignity”, which examines the experiences of recovery in post-disaster situations across three states in India – Odisha, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala – and explores how recovery processes represent vulnerable populations. In this report, we focus on three key disasters in Tamil Nadu: the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, the 2015 South India flood, and the 2018 Cyclone Gaja. Through these events, we examine how the ways disasters and their losses are represented shape recovery outcomes. The study uses a range of data, from a review of state policies in Tamil Nadu (2005-2019), an analysis of media articles published in English and Tamil (2004-2019), to interviews with disaster-affected people and secondary stakeholders. The findings indicate that disaster responses and outcomes are highly differentiated based on how disaster-affected people and their needs and losses are represented. To enable inclusive recovery, it is necessary to recognising the heterogenous nature of disaster impacts and acknowledge different ideas of what recovery means.

Abstract:

This research empirically investigates the need for, and the effective design and content of, a proposed mobile application that is targeted at pedestrians and cyclists in Fresno County. The differential effect of the proposed mobile app name and colors on the target audience opinions was examined. Further, app content and features were evaluated for importance and the likelihood of use. This included design appeal, attractiveness, relevance, ease of navigation, usefulness of functions, personalization and customization, message recipients’ attitudes towards message framing, and intended behaviors related to pedestrian, cyclist, and motorist traffic safety practices. Design mobile application features tested included image aesthetics, coherence and organization, and memorability and distinction. Potential engagement with the mobile app was assessed via measuring the users’ perceived enjoyment while using the app. The behavioral intentions to adopt the app and likelihood to recommend the app were assessed. The willingness to pay for purchasing the app was measured. This research provided evidence that a mobile application designed for pedestrians and cyclists is needed, with high intentions for its adoption. Functions, such as Safety Information, Weather Conditions, Guide to Trails, Events for Walkers and Bikers, and Promotional Offers are deemed important by the target population. This research was conducted in an effort to increase active transportation mode utilization and to enhance the safety of vulnerable road users. The public, city administrators, transportation authorities, and policy makers shall benefit from the results of this study by adapting the design and the features that are proposed in this research and were found appealing and useful for the target vulnerable road user groups. The need of the proposed mobile application and its main functions are established, based on the results of this research, which propagates further steps of implementation by city administrators and transportation authorities.
